Kaitlin Conway

Kaitlin Conway serves as a key procurement lead within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. She specializes in the acquisition of computing infrastructure, data processing services, and mission-enabling IT systems that support expeditionary and garrison environments. Her work ensures the reliability and interoperability of digital systems essential to combat operations, logistics coordination, and command and control functions. Conway oversees the full lifecycle of contract awards, from requirements validation through performance monitoring, with a focus on secure, scalable, and resilient computing solutions that meet stringent DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of high-performing contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These vendors provide specialized services in network infrastructure, data center operations, embedded systems support, and mission-critical software hosting. Conway’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships built on reliability and adherence to naval IT architecture standards. Conway’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under the No Set-Aside category. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the most qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her selections are driven by proven performance and system compatibility rather than socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 518210, encompassing computing infrastructure providers, data processing, and web hosting services. She procures secure cloud platforms, server farms, data center operations, and mission-specific IT hosting solutions that underpin naval command systems, intelligence processing, and real-time logistics tracking. Her expertise lies in acquiring complex, high-availability IT environments that support both garrison and deployed operational needs.
